The growth represented a total gain of over 1 million hostnames, the sixth time in the past year that the survey has shown a monthly increase of over 1 million.
Microsoft lost ground again, dropping from 21.32 to 21.21 percent market share. SunOne and Zeus also lost, dropping 0.04 and 0.05 percent respectively.
